Why mix old and new figures in the same assortment? That makes absolutely no sense. The old figures are probably going to sit and clog shelves while the new ones fly out. Leave it to Hasbro to do something like this. What's next? Maybe they will ship cases of mixed Episode 2/Episode 3 Preview figures

The mentality i'm sure is that being exclusives before not everyone had the opportunity to pick them off shelves. I myself relied on Matt because the closest Target is over an hour from my house. Also, any word if the cards will change?

Not exactly the best mix of new figures there, IMO. Don't care much for the Grievous character, though the figure looks interesting enough. Would've chose a hundred different characters over another Anakin figure already, but I guess they're figuring that's a pivotal scene in the series so it's necessary. The Red ARC Troopers cool, of course. And I believe Hasbro said at Comic Con that they'd be making him in a Blue color as well.

I guess it'll be cool to get some of the previous Clones in the multi flavors now too. Spice things up just a bit. And since they're no longer Target exclusives, they should be easy enough to eventually track down (hopefully).

I'm guessing the re-release of the prior figures is just so the other retailers who are just hopping into this line can have the opportunity to sell some of the old ones too (not they they likely will to much extent).

Would be nice to see the line push forward a bit more too, into some of the other Jedi characters, along with Clone Obi, Padme and the Droids. Plenty still left to tackle from the first couple "seasons", and they haven't even delved into "season 3" yet. Not a bad line though, despite my initial trepidation towards it...

And you could probably go even further. Off the top of my head, that would still leave Barriss Offee, Ki Adi Mundi, Shaak Ti, Darth Sidious, Chancellor Palpatine (seperate for the purposes of the list), Battle Droids, and Super Battle Droids among the more "active" characters on the series that could be made into figures. This doesn't even begin to take into account some of the vehicles that could be made. Unfortunately, since it's more of a "niche" line, this stuff will probably never come to pass and these last three original figures (plus the Clone repaints) will be all we'll ever get, but it's still fun to dream.

I'm kind of glad to see this line continue, I always thought it was a fun little "sub-line" to collect. I too would have liked a little bit different character selection (or a few more), because it would be really nice to see many of the figures mentioned above (Obi-Wan in armor, Snow Bunny Padme, R2/3PO, Jedi, Palpy, etc.). I am glad to see the multi-colored clones, as well as the ARC Trooper(s) - which were really cool in the series. I wonder if we'll see anything beyond this next wave? I haven't heard/read/seen anything that would point to that though. Oh well, not like we won't have enough product out there next year the way it is, I need to start saving up now .
